the centres have been machine out ready
any ideas please?

bought these recently off fleabay, had them cleaned & powder coated, et is 45 so is it a 10mm spacer?

A 10 mm would give you an ET of 35, 15mm would be better or 20mm if you want to fill your arches (ET25).

Re: think i'm right
ta, just found this
If you put a wheel on the same hub with a bigger offset, the wheel will sit further inside the wheel arch
So for example... your new rims have an ET of 45...so you will have to fit spacers of 10mm to bring it down to 35 which is within the 39 to 30 range
